Malformed teeth and discolored teeth can also be veneered with composite resin to enhance esthetics and blend with the adjacent teeth, or they may be capped using esthetic ceramic crowns.

The most common cosmetic dental treatments include Whitening (used to lighten stained and discolored teeth), Enamel Shaping (removing parts of the contouring enamel to improve appearance of tooth), Bonding (used to repair cracked or chipped teeth) and application of veneers (ultra-thin laminate shells made out of porcelain or composite material and affixed directly to the teeth to close gaps and disguise discolored teeth). In situations when there is no time for corrective orthodontic treatment of teeth, gaps between the front teeth can immediately be closed using composite resins or porcelain laminate veneers.
      
Tooth colored fillings are excellent esthetic alternatives for the old opaque cement fillings done in the past , as they perfectly match the shades of the teeth. Old stained metallic fillings which appear discolored on smiling can be replaced by esthetic tooth colored composite resin fillings.

We recommend the tooth colored Composite resin restorations which follow the atraumatic restorative treatment protocol as they bond and fortify the tooth structure and do not require excessive tooth reduction for mechanical retention as in the case of metallic fillings.
